A couple of months ago I did 2 local podcasts, one for a site called Grace, Grits and Hope and this one posted below, Tales from the Kentucky Room for our local public library. Both can be found on Spotify or any major carrier of podcasts. I'm posting a link below for this one released yesterday. Both are about my trip overseas to Vanuatu and the project I've worked on for 26 years. It's been an absolute pleasure all around and I'm not done yet. I really want to help the South Pacific WW2 Museum find the money to build the museum of their dreams. If you know a way to help, please advise!

The latest newsletter from the museum on Santo is pretty cool, too. They feature the plaque ceremony and other history of Strong, including a previously posted story about Lt. Hugh Barr Miller, Jr. and another about the sinking of the IJN Niizuki, the ship that took credit for the type 93 torpedo that struck our ship. Read it here: July Newsletter
An unfortunate sad note.....Andy Brown, the grandson of one of the last survivors, James Lewis Long, F2c on the ship passed away this past Sunday, August 4th at his home in Florida. He was 99 years old. If Andy provides me with an obituary I will share it with the group.
